Saying Goodbye to Malaysia
It's hard to believe our time in Malaysia has come to an end. Three years have flown by, and today is our last day. Leaving this country that has treated us so well fills my heart with a mix of reluctance and emotion. This video is a tribute to my beloved Malaysia.
First Impressions and Familiar Comforts
I remember when we first moved here, everything felt so new and unfamiliar. Now, the streets, the shops, and the scenery are all deeply familiar.
-
The morning sun on the windows.
-
The view of the Petronas Twin Towers.
-
The distinctive tropical rainforest scenery.
-
The freedom to wear slippers and sandals in the warm weather.
The Malaysian weather has been consistently beautiful and is something I will truly miss.
Leisure and Recreation
The luxurious department stores are another fond memory. When family visited from Taiwan, going to these stores became a must-do activity, a unique Malaysian experience. Strolling through them, enjoying the air conditioning, and snacking in the Kuala Lumpur city center on weekends became a favorite pastime. These places weren't just for shopping and eating; they were a source of daily happiness.
Culinary Delights
Of course, the delicious food in Malaysia is unforgettable. My favorite is the local Musang King durian, which is simply unbeatable. Beyond durian, there are also various kinds of local Chinese cuisine such as:
-
Bak Kut Teh (pork bone soup)
-
Delicious desserts
-
Charming coffee shops
Even watching this video brings back wonderful feelings. Not to mention the affordable and fresh fruit markets. These simple yet beautiful days will remain eternal memories.
Island Paradise
I'm very grateful for the opportunity to experience the beautiful island ecology of Malaysia. This is the first time in my life that I have such a beautiful memory of this kind of ecosystem. From Langkawi in the northwest to Rulang Island, Langchong Island, Tianhe Island, and Simenna in East Malaysia, nature has generously blessed this country.
Lessons Learned and Personal Growth
These past three years in Malaysia have been incredibly enriching. I've gained not only peace and wonderful memories, but also experienced the kindness of the people. Each encounter with a different culture has been a valuable lesson.
A Home and a Hobby
In a cozy corner of our home, in our warm living room, the Malaysian weather inspired me to become a plant enthusiast. The vibrant green branches on the windowsill have been a source of daily joy and accomplishment. I hope these plants continue to thrive. This home has been more than just a shelter; it's a witness to countless ordinary yet precious moments. I'm truly grateful to have lived here and spent this time.
A Fond Farewell
Ultimately, we will leave some places behind and embrace new beginnings. But it's those cherished memories that make life so meaningful. Thank you, Malaysia. Goodbye is not the end, but the beginning of a new chapter.
